Sometimes...

Who will save me from low doorposts? [rant]
Sometimes I wish I drive a big fucking rig, with a flat nose and a double steel bullbar up front. And not those hollow steel pipes, but just massive steel rods. And anyone daring to drive in front of me and abusing the road instead of using it better have a life insurance...
Today, within an hour, I had the following:
1. Some dumbass getting from an on-ramp to the freeway just sliding his car in front of me while we both are doing 90 and there's only a meter or so between him and me.
2. On the way back from the store a suicidal bicyclist.
3. On that same route a woman who thought she could take the right-of-way on a roundabout.
In case of me driving a big fucking rig, 1. would be TOTALLED, 2. would end up under my wheels and 3. would be having a nosejob. ON HER CAR!
Man traffic sucks around these parts nowadays!

As we're headed up main street in Eastland, the real estate lady comments "The traffic here sure has turned to shit in the last 10 years."
I'm seeing maybe 20 cars on the road.
I get back to Los Angeles and take a picture of the freeway with probably several thousand cars bumper to bumper at a standstill.
I email the picture to the agent. "I don't want to hear about YOUR traffic problems."

PS, I always think it's hilarious when I have to slow down driving up Main street to the house, because there's somebody on horseback.
